You are in a place where GPS signals cannot be received. GPS signal reception
Receive GPS signals in a place where GPS signals can be easily received.
Reception is possible (reception result display becomes “Y”), but the time and date are not accurate (when it is understood as a reception result after time adjustment)
A time difference from that of the current location is set.
Check the time difference (time) setting.
Reset the time difference if different from the time of the current location.
When you are in a place where GPS signals can be easily received How to adjust the time zone
When in a location with no reception How to perform manual time difference setting (selection)
The setting for the time difference (including DST (daylight saving time or “summer time”)) does not match the time of the current location.
Reset the time difference if different from the time of the current location.
Reception is possible (reception result display becomes “Y”), but the time and date are not accurate (when it is understood as a reception result after time zone adjustment)
The setting for the time difference (including DST (daylight saving time or “summer time”)) does not match the time of the current location.
Reset the time difference if different from the time of the current location.
The positions of the hands are misaligned due to external influences.
The standard positions of the hands are incorrect.
Preliminary position
-
<Hour/minute hand misalignment> The automatic hand position adjustment function is activated to automatically adjust the positions. Please use the watch as it is. The automatic hand position alignment function is activated once a minute for the seconds hand, once an hour for the minute hand, and once every 12 hours for the hour hand.
<Date misalignment> Since the preliminary position is not automatically adjusted, manually adjust the position. -
If the hands are not corrected, refer to Set the standard position of the date and the hour and minute hands and perform the operations.
-
When misalignment of the hand is not adjusted even with operation of
, consult the retailer from whom the watch was purchased.
The reception result is displayed as “Y”, but the time is gained or lost by one to two seconds.
The automatic time adjustment function has not been activated for a few days.
When energy is insufficient, the automatic time adjustment may operate only once every 3 days.
The automatic time adjustment function is not activated every day
The energy stored in the watch is insufficient.
Conditions to activate the automatic time adjustment function are not prepared.
Sufficient energy is necessary to activate the automatic time adjustment function every day. Keep in mind to frequently expose your watch light to charge its battery. The automatic time adjustment is automatically activated by exposure to bright light when you are in a place that easily receives GPS signals.
Automatic reception is not activated.
The watch is not in an environment where GPS signals can be received at the moment when the watch is exposed to light.
While the watch has a function that automatically starts receiving when exposed to light, it also has a function that activates “automatic time adjustment” at the time that “manual time adjustment” was last successful, even in environments that are not exposed to light. Normally, we recommend that, to succeed with manual time adjustment, do it at a specific time, at which you think you will be in an environment that can receive GPS signals. Automatic time adjustment function judges the situation. Thereby the automatic time adjustment function gets activated even in the case of not been able to receive light.
Misalignment of time and hands
The seconds hand position indicating the reception result is incorrect
The standard position of the seconds hand is incorrect. (This can occur when the position of the seconds hand is incorrect due to external influences.)
Preliminary position
-
The automatic hand position alignment function is activated to automatically adjust the position. Please use the watch as it is. The automatic hand position alignment function is activated once a minute for the seconds hand.
-
When misalignment of the hand is not adjusted, consult the retailer from whom the watch was purchased.
The watch temporarily gains or loses time.
The automatic time adjustment function has not been activated for a few days.
If the energy stored in the watch is insufficient, the automatic time adjustment function may be activated once in 3 days.
To adjust the time immediately, carry out “manual time adjustment.”
The watch received an incorrect time due to external factors (erroneous reception).
-
Receive GPS signals in a place where GPS signals can be more easily received.
-
Adjust the time zone as necessary.
The watch is left in an extremely high or low temperature place for a long time.
-
If the watch is returned to a normal temperature place, the accuracy will be recovered.
-
If the time is incorrect after that, manually adjust the time as necessary.
-
If the watch is not recovered, consult the retailer from whom the watch was purchased.
The time is gained (lost) 1 hour
The setting for the time difference (including DST (daylight saving time or “summer time”)) does not match the time of the current location.
Reset the time difference if different from the time of the current location.
Charging the solar battery
The stopped watch was exposed to an adequate light for longer than the time required to fully charge the watch, however, it does not resume its normal 1-second interval movements.
The amount of exposed light is too weak.
The time for charging the watch is not sufficient.
The time required for charging the watch depends entirely on the amount of exposed light the watch receives.
Refer to Standard Charging Time to charge the watch.
The seconds hand is stopped even when the watch is charged for longer than the time required to fully charge the watch
The watch was not charged for a long time and has been discharged completely.
Contact the retailer from whom the watch was purchased.
Misalignment of date
After the reception is successful, the time is correct but the date is incorrect.
The preliminary position of the date is out of alignment.
This problem occurs when the preliminary position of the date is out of alignment due to external influence etc.
Adjust the preliminary position of the date to the correct position “1” (the first day of a month).
